30 Cool Things For Successful Entrepreneurs To Do

The best bit about being a successful Internet Entrepreneur is the wonderful Internet lifestyle and freedom that goes with it. You set your own hours for working, vacation when you want and if you wish, work from anywhere you can get an Internet connection. Many internet entrepreneurs travel for as much as 6 months at a time – just logging in for an hour or two every day or so to keep on top of things. (count their earnings!)

Some of these experiences are relatively in expensive – getting there will not be. Check out the list below for some possibilities – which of these adventures inspires you? Or perhaps we are missing some adventures you would like to recommend?

Zip Line through the Rain Forest

Fly through the canopy of the Rain Forest on a zip line that runs for miles.

Oh my God, these are some amazing things to do. Perhaps I should get some posters featuring these activities, paste it on my wall so that they can push me forward to achieve my dreams – remember $1000 day?

I can do many of those on the profits I make, the ones like private island and gumball I can’t without sinking everything I have into it lol. The private island looks better than the gumball one though.

Blech! Wish this was named things for a “male” entrepreneur to do… because I for one would not want to do any of them. Yanik’s a great guy, he’s just really a Guy. Maybe I need to post a blog about the things a female entrepreneur gets to do. Like buying houses. And shoes. And that carpenter to do stuff my husband will put off for ages. And planting my new fruit tree orchard. And donating computers and Internet access to orphanages. And helping our favorite rural church build a new roof. etc etc. I do not want to go near a fast car/plane/bungee/boat..etc ever. If only Yanik had mentioned Nordstroms shoe department!

I have got to say you have the best list posts on the internet I have ever read. All of these are awesome and I hope I get to do just half of them. My favorites would have to be Pebble Beach, Zero G flight and the zip line sounds pretty cool as well. Thanks
